LITERARY NOTES-
Anew feature of the Arena which
appears in the September number,;
and one that will attract those who
enjoy the light and airy literary
essay, is Walter Blackburn Hart’s
causerie. It is written in that vein
of humor which reminds the reader
of the older English writers. With
the soberest admixture of fantastic
humor and seriousness, it treats of
“Certain Satisfactions of Prejudice.,,
The new series of papers is to be of
a literary and social character, and
will cover a wide range of subjects.
It is to be a continuation of Harte’s
“In a Corner at Dodsley’s” papers,
which used to be a feature of the
New England Magazine. It promis
es to be is amusing, and will pro
bably become Quiet popular.
Very few high-caste Brahmins
have evereome out of India, and
still fewer to the United States; for
their religious customs almost for
bid them to go abroad. Among the
large number of Asiatics that visited
us last year to see the World’s Fair
there were only two Brahmins, one
of whom is Mr. Purushotam Rao
Telang, who comes of a family that
has greatly distinguished itself,
among other ways, in the British
service, in Bombay. Mr. Telang
has spent more than a year In the
United States studying our institu"
tions, and he has travelled from
New York to San Francisco. Just
before his departure for Bombay he
has written for The Forum an ex
ceedingly interestingly article on
“Home-Life in India: Child-Marria
-0
ges and Widows,” wherein he ex
plains the growth and peculiarities
of the social-religious customs
which have been the subject of so
much missionary controversy. The
article will appear in the Septem
ber Forum.
The last of Frank Bolles’s papers,
“August Birds in Cape Breton,’’has
the place of honor in the August
Atlantic, at the right hand of the
hostess, for it follows immediately
upon the installment of Mrs. De
land’s “Philip and ins Wife” at the
opening oi the number. In the third
place stay. Is Susan Coolidge’s “The
Girlhood of an Autocrat,” the story
of the famous Empress Catherine
of Russia. But the order of preced
ence does not fix the relative merits
of the contributions to the maga
zine. for towards the end is a signi
ficant paper, “The College Graduate
and Public Life” by Theodore Roose
velt. The life with whicli he deals
is that of politics, a practical phase
of which is discussed in Mr A. H.
Washburn’s paper, “Some Evils of
our Consular Service.” Something
is told of the great work of
Cardinal Lavigcrie in North Africa
by William Sharp. Ry way of con
trast there is a paper on “Professio
nal Horsemen,” by 11. C. Merwin.
Sidney Lanier’s letters come to an
end, and the rest of the number is
filled out with short articles and
stories, giving in all a more than us
ual diversity of attractive reading.

Three of the original articles in
the August Review of Reviews are
devoted to Canadian topics. A
sketch of the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier,
the leader of the Canadian Liberal
party, is contributed by Mr. Wil
liam B. Walliee; “Canada’s Politi
cal Conditions” are described by the
Hon. J. W. Longley, Attorney-Gen
eral of Noval Scotia, while the edi
tor of the magazine, Dr. Albert
Shaw, writes on “Toronto as a Mun
icipal Object Lesson.” Each of these
articles is full of information
affairs beyond our northern border.
Canadian politics and government
are subject as to which our educa
tion here in “the States” has been
sadly neglected. The Review of
Reviews is doing a useful service
in acquainting its readers more ful
ly with the institutions ot our
neighbors across the line.
The complete novel in the Sep
tember number ot Lippincott’s is
“Captain Molly,” by Mary A. Den
ison, and deals with the philanthro
pic work of the Salvation Army.
The heroine* a banker’s daughter,
leaves a luxurious home to dwell for
a time in Paradise Flats, and tries,
not without success, to alleviate the
miseries of her neighbors there: the
hero follows her in disguise, and the
tale comes to an orthodox end
The three short stories are of un
usual merit. “Sosef Helmuth’s Go
etz,” by Frederick R. Burton, is a
weird tale of a too imaginative mu
sician and of a violin which impris
oned a human soul. Will N. Har
ben does his very best work in “The
Sale of Uncle Itastus,” a slave
whose devotion to his master as
sumed a unique form. “On Second
Thoughts,” by Lalage D. Morgan, is
a love-story with an uncommon
ending, for the young lady’s heart
was finally controlled by her head
Laura A. Smith writes of “Songs
of the Battle-Field.” and gives spec
imens of them, music as well as
words, from many lands. “How I
Found the Baron,” by Edward
Wakefield, describes a queer piece
of semi-political history, including
a dangerous expedition throught
the wilds of New Guinea. In
“Head-Lines,” W. T. Larned col
lects and comments on some of the
worst liberties of the American
press. “The Evolution of the Hero
ine” is a pleasant literrary essay by
Professor H. H. Boyesen. The “Hu
man Horses” threated of by Walter
Rogers Furness are the jinrickisha
bearers of trusts with insurance.
In “Talks with the Trade,” the ed
itor discusses “Writers and Type
writers.” The poetry of the number
includes a sonnet by Titus Munson
Coan,and quatrains by Frank Demp
ter Sherman and Charles G. D
Roberts.
The Delineator for September is
called the Autumn Announcement
Number, and is the strongest issue
of tliis popular magazine that has
yet come to ban 1. The display of
styles is unusually large and attrac
tive, and is the first authentic re
presentation of the Autumn Modes;
and there is besides a special illus
trated article on Clothing the Baby.
A most interesting contribution is
the plea for and against according
the Suffrage to Women by such
well known writers asL.G. Ilunkle
and Editor Thomas, and there is
also a valuable paper on Public
School Teaching as an Employment
for Women. The first article of a
series on the Kindergarten appears
iri this number, and should prove
of much service to both public and
private teachers. In the College
Series A Girls’ Life and Work at
Radeiliffe (late Harvard Annex) is
described. Further instruction is
given in the making of the orna
mental articles from Crepe and Tis
sue papers, in Rent Iron Work, and
in the cultivation of the Voice for
Singing and Declamation. The in
structive talks on the Relations be
tween Mother and Daughter are
continued, and in the paper on
Health there is much good advice
on the proper exercise for both body
and brain. Grapes are considered
in the Hints on Serving Fruit, and
there is a suggestive description of
a Cotton Wedding. There are also
the usual illustrated papers on Knit
ting, Crocheting, Netting. Tatting,
etc., etc-

The Fad Of Fads. —‘Tis a fad to
have a fad or hobby ;So if you do not
wish to be considered “a no account
sort of person” you must straignt
way adopt one. Of course, ordinary
people cannot afford to indulge in
hobbies that cost money, like Rem
brandts, and horses, and yachting;
hut you may have a hobby for
walking, and that costs only shoe
leather and time; or f>r collecting
wild-flowers, which is quite as inex
pensive; indeed,there are a thous
and-and-one things that are pleas
ant to do, and can easily be develo

The Relative Value* of Food* with Cotton
Seed Hull* and Without Them—Cotton
Seed Food Not Good Without Other
Food Mixed—Cotton Seed Meal Valuable
and Can Be Safi ly Fed.
The possibilities of Georgia in dairy
ing and cheese making is at the pres
ent time exciting increased interest.
A dairyman’s association is now con
templated and with attention attracted
to the subject we hope to see great de
velopment and progress in this agricul
tural industry. Pertinent to the ques
tion are the many inquiries relative tc
the proper ration for milch cows. To
the south, this presents its most impor
tant feature, as to the extent and propel
ration with the use of cotton seed meal
and cotton seed hulls. The former
finds a ready consumption as a fertilizer
but if care is exercised it can be used
both as a food aud a fertilizer —the
dropping losing but little of the meas
ured value of the food while the milch
and food making properties are utilized.
Cotton seed hulls, if utilized, must
find their place as a feed stuff for the
maintenance of stock or the dairy.
Careful experiment is the best test as
to how to utilize these two great pro
ducts of the southern oil mills and we
therefore give a synopsis of the work oi
the Tennessee and Georgia stations on
the proper and profitable ration.
FROM THE TENNESSEE STATION.
Synopsis.— An experiment with twe
lots of six cows each in substituting cot
ton seed hulls for a ration of corn silage
and hay. The trial lasted three and a
half months. Thirteen pounds of hulls
were found to be equivalent to a ration
of 15 pounds of silage anti 6 pounds of
hay, and to cost about 10 per cent les3.
The continued use of cotton seed hulls
and cotton seed meal with no other food
was found to be unsafe.
An experiment is reported in substi
tuting cotton seed hulls for corn silage
and hay in a ration for milch cows.
Twelve cows of the station herd were
divided into two lots of six each. The
trial lasted from December 15 to March
29, At the beginning of the trial, lot A
was fed 30 pounds of corn silage, 6
pounds of hay, 3 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 5 pounds of wheaMiran; and
lot B was fed 25 pounds of cotton seed
hulls, 4 pounds of cotton seed meal, and
4 pounds of corn meal. After a few
weeks feeding in this way cotton seed
hulls were gradually substituted for the
corn silage and hay in the case of lot A,
and com silage and hay were gradually
substituted for the cotton seed hulls in
the ration of lot B.
Finally the grain ration was also
changed so that lot A received the ra
tion throughout which lot B had been
fed, and vice versa In the last period
of 20 days both lots were brought hack
to a uniform ration of 15 pounds of corn
silage, 13 pounds of cotton seed hulls, 8
pounds of cotton seed meal, and a
pounds of wheat bran. Full data for
the experiment are tabulated for each
animal. Most of the cows ate the ra
tion of hay and silage more eagerly
than the cotton seed hulls.
It was found that the ration of cotton
seed products fed alone, i. e., cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal, could
not long be safely continued.
The result shows that 13 pounds ol
cotton seed hulls can be advantageously
used to take the place of 15 pounds oi
corn silage and 6 pounds of hay in mak
ing up a ration with 3 pounds of cotton
seed meal and 5 pounds of wheat bran,
while reducing the cost about 10 per
cent.
We are thoroughly convinced that,
properly used, cotton seed hulls, from
sound seed and free of extraneous mat
ter, of such quality as those furnished
to us for this series of experiments, are
a valuable addition to our list of feed
stuffs for milch cows. We can recom
mend as giving satisfactory results the
use of as much as 15 pounds of cotton
seed hulls in the daily ration per I,OOG
pounds live weight. A larger propor
tion has,, with our cows, caused a weak
ening of the digestive powers, evidenced
in some cases by a tendency to diarrhea,
in others to constipation.
Cotton seed meal is the most valuable
of all the so-called waste products used
as feed stuffs. It can be safely fed for
long peri oils, as much as 5 pounds per
day per 1,000 pounds live weight, in the
ration for cows giving milk. For but
ter making it is not advisable to exceed
3 pounds daily. As the cow approaches
the time for calving, the proportion of
cotton seed meal should not exceed 3
pounds daily.
Cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls
should be far more extensively used as
cattle food. These products of the cot
ton fields of the south will enable the
farmers of Tennesse to maintain or to
restore the fertility of their lands at the
least cost for manures.
FROM THE GEORGIA STATION.
To compare cotton seed hulls (10
pounds) with sorghum silage (30 pounds),
eight cows were 1 fed for a period of eight
days on the one ration,and then changed
to the other for eight days longer.
Wheat bran, ootton seed meal, and tim
ethy hay were fed alike with both
rations. The two periods were separat
ed by an intermediate period of one
week.
The results are not particularly strik
ing, chiefly for the reason that the cows
were fairly well sustained by the grain
ration of 8 pounds of bran and 8 pounds
of cotton seed meal and 2 pounds of
Timothy hay. It indicates, however,
that 10 pounds of cotton seed hulls are
not equivalent to 30 pounds of sorghum
silage. The cows could not be induced
to eat more than the 10 pounds of hulls.
Another trial to compare corn silage
with cotton seed hulls, each fed alone,
Was discontinued after eight days on ac
count of the shrinkage in milk and in
live weight of the cows fed on hulls
alone. The lot fed on silage neither
gained nor lost in weight, but the milk
yield shrunk nearly 19 pounds.
GENERAL REMARKS.
There Is a General Improvement in Crops
Throughout the State.
We are pleased to be able to report a
general improvement in all crops; boun
tiful rains have fallen all over the state,
resulting in the rapid growth of all
plants.
COTTON.
The condition of cotton throughout
the state has greatly improved, but not
in such marked degree as that of other
plants, for the reason that much moist
ure with this crop has a tendency to
produce weed, without a corresponding
production of fruit However, for the
state, over the report for last month, an
improvement of 5 percent is shown.
CORN.
Our farmers are to be congratulated
on the abundant yield of this great crop
that is assured Early in the season,
and even later, the severe drouth appar
ently would reduce the crop to a very
poor average The rains, however,with
the exception of that part of the state
where the plant advanced to such a de
gree of maturity as to be beyond recuper
ation, have so improved the conditions
that we are in many sections assured a
'very large yield, while for the whole
state the average is good.

STATISTICS.
In addition to the usnal questions
sent out the department sent out the
following:
It is the object of the department to
compile as accurate statistics as possible
in regard to the average yield per acre
in cotton, corn and other leading crops,
and therefore we request, and would ap
preciate it if you would make your an
swers as careful as possible. We recog
nize the fact that in regard to acreage,
estimates are difficult, but hope from
the views of all to obtain approximately
correct figures. The questions relating
to average yield, except when specified,
apply to the general average, or usual
crop, and to no particular year.
A compilation of the inquiries sent
under these heads shows a usual yield
or general average during a series of
years for the entire state of 12 1-2 bushels
of corn, 7 2-3 bushels of wheat, 14 2-3
bushels of oats, 8 bushels of rye, sweet
potatoes 83 1-3 bushels, hay 2,127 pounds,
average yield of lint cotton per acre 183,

A few years ago there arose a class of
farmers who were ready to claim that
tillage was manure, and for a year or
two there was much discussion of the
subject, and while the position of these
men we speak of was not maintained,
much good was done in directing atten
tion, in a forcible manner, to the impor
tance of good tillage. Tillage is not
manure at any time nor under any cir
cumstances; for it does not furnish any
thing to the soil that was not there be
fore, but good tillage will make availa
ble much plant food that would have
been locked up under other circum
stances. If land is not put in good tilth
before the seed is planted, it is impossi
ble to get the best results from it. Every
little lump that is left in the soil is use
less so far as the growing crop is con
cerned, for the plant food iu it is not
available. Often a very good crop may
be grown upon land that is run down
and in bad shape if only perfect tillage
is the rule of the husbandman.—The
American Farmer and Farm News.
When you sell a cow, sell the poorest
one you have, but dod’t swear that she
is the best one. It is pretty hard to do
I this, but it can be done, and you will
i not be sorry for it afterwards.
